Help me get back with my ex? We were engaged and between everything broke up 4 times. She only wanted friendship then and I am her best friend now. Is friendship the kiss of death? I love her so much but she says she loves me too, but isn't "in love" with me. Help?

StarNews agony auntFriendship is always a good thing, you can never have too many friends. If you are still in love with this girl, I know it is hard to just be friends. And from what she says, it sounds like that is all she wants. So that is where you have to make the choice. Can you just be friends with her, and accept that it may never be anything more than that? Or will you always be hoping for something more?

By choosing to be friends with her, she may begin to see you in a different light. So it may work to your advantage, but then again, it may not. It has to be a chance you are willing to take. It could eventually bring you closer together, and you may end up with a really wonderful relationship. You really have to have an open mind, be patient, and have no expections for anything more than friendship.

Dark_Storm11 agony auntHi there sweety.

Im sorry to hear about your ex, its fustrating isnt it.

In my opinion, i believe evryone has someone out there for them,i mean someone perfect.

I dont think your ex is ever going to change her mind, and you cant force someone to do something they dont want to do.

I think you should leave her. Get as far away from her as possible. Give yourself time to move on. Take up a hobby or find new things to do. This way you dont look obsessed or desperate.

And when you really feel that you are over her, (completely)you can consider meeting her again.

This way you wont lose her altogther. If you carry on like this she wont want to be friends with you.

I know the way you feel, when she makes you laugh you think about all day and smile, and you wont want to follow this advice.

At the end of the day this is the best thing to do, without losing her completely, i cant make you follow this advice, but i am telling you what i think is best.

Hope everything gets better for you.

Give her some space. Perhaps, she would realise you mean to her.

I never believe in things like 'if you are meant to be together you will be together at the end'.

My belief is if you want to be together, you will be together. :)

Good luck.......all the best :)
